happy sneaky sketch

happy sneaky sketch artist at work

While I was at the sketch night, I was fascinated by those around me, lost, deep in their thought, or the act of capturing the live model. I turned to my left and there was this young man looking so determined to sketch, to get it all down on paper. It was his bright taxi cab yellow tee-shirt and red hi-tops that caught my eye - and the slouch of his body gave off a casual air. I snuck this sketch in which made me happy today. Do you enjoy observing those around you and getting a sneaky peak?

I am SUCH a people watcher! I'm constantly being yelled at by friends for not paying closer attention to them. As a little boy my grandparents would take me to the nearby international airport (long before airport security) and we would sit with snacks and just watch people walking by. Always such happy memories!

Love to people watch. And since, like a few posted here, am not the artist, I have always looked at those who could draw as magicians. I love to people watch in museums where the young and intent sketch and dream.

You have truly captured the spirit of this boy Patricia - I want to quietly walk up behind him & put my arms around his neck & look at what he's doing, just as I do with all our boys! I'm with Pamela T.- may the day never come when I stop eyeing off the people around me!Millie ^_^
